Payment Gateway for SMALL business

Posts: 26 · Posted: Wed Sep 21, 2005 4:07 pm

I was wondering if someone could give me some insight into what payment gateway would be best for a really small business. I have a very limited number of orders, so paying those huge monthly fees is really irking me. Any help deciding what is the most economical would be appreciated.

As posted in another forum: http://hostmysite.com/support/miva5/paymentgateways/

Those are the gateways officially supported by Miva and that's all you need to know. Very Happy

One thing to keep in mind with 3rd party payment processors, they're essentially letting you use their merchant account. Which means you're pretty much at their whim. If their Merchant Account gets cancelled for whatever reason (for example, and this is just one of many examples, too many chargebacks), you're in trouble.

For an example of this situation, just google "Paysystems closed"

I dont think a professional and stable company do that way, BTW my point is if you are small and you have a limited budget and revenue, it is better to choose a third party payment processor. Rolling Eyes
